VIU Library can help you find, evaluate, and use information effectively and effectively. If you need help choosing a topic, developing search keywords, finding sources, or deciding which information to use, you do not have to work at it alone.
Tips for learning
Bring your assignment instructions, topic ideas, and any searching you have already tried. It's also okay to ask if you need help when you're not sure how to begin. Or maybe you think you have what you need, but would like to know how to take it a step further and learn about how to improve your current search strategy.
You can connect with Library Research Help in many ways:
- Visit a Library service desk in person.
- Make an appointment with a librarian.
- Email us at library@viu.ca for assistance.
- Use the Library's live chat service.
No matter your research problem, VIU Library is there to help you.
